Thread 21500387

My worst was working in a supermarket bakery and finding out my gross white trash manager chick was regularly getting boned by another manager on the on the prep table.

The best was working at McDonald's and getting to make my own free food. I made the best Big Macs and Fish Filets.

>>21500387 (OP)
Did they give the "bucket of beer" to the customer?

Free whippits

>>21500387 (OP)
Why did the wagies in the webm throw out a perfectly good game of beer pot?

>>21500387 (OP)
My coworkers loved me a lot when I still worked in food

>>21500812
>"when I still"
Hey what the fuck was the purpose of the word "still" in this sentence?

Is it creepy to still work in fast food past a certain age? A lot of the joints around my town have a lot of teen girls working at them

>>21501001
You got to do what ya got to do my g. If that means working with a bunch of teen girls, then you got work with a bunch of teen girls.

My best experiences and worst experiences as someone who works in a bar is dealing with drunk customers or those on drugs
Best is people who give me tips for some reason, worst is when they mock me for being a wagie

>>21501061
Also it's mostly women who treat me weirdly

>>21501001
If you're past college age and still a fast food cashier or fry cook then it's moreso embarassing than anything else. It also hurts the customers' vibe to see someone with no career plans

>>21501001
It just makes you look lame, especially to your younger coworkers, but if you're in a situation where you're working in fast food past the age of 22, and you're not even a shift manager, you're honestly already lame anyways, and you should at least buckle down at that fast food job to make it to management, because obviously you're not doing shit else with your life anyways.
>t. 33 year old Papa John's GM with dead dreams

>>21501071
No one cares about the "vibes" of mostly white trash, ghetto trash, hobos and lead poisoned, dementia riddled senior citizens.

>>21501104
I worked at Papa Johns for 2 days, the manager left me alone on the first day for 5 hours. I could barely make a pizza and it was just me and one old delivery guy all afternoon. The second day he made me work open to close and I didn't come back after that.
Hope you run your store better, if you have the GM experience I would try to get out and work for a better place at least. Try Panera Bread or something more comfy.

>>21501125
I will die at papa's but yeah, I like to put newbies in the trenches alone, it's funny to me and also it weeds out little pussies like you. It's pizza, it's not that fucking hard, you would have watched a few hours of training videos by the time you were put on the makeline, there are pictures all over the place showing you exactly how to top the pies, the only remotely skillful part is stretching the dough, which is a position that's usually staffed by utter retards at my store, because it's still extremely repetitive and simple. It lets me know if you have two brain cells to rub together to make a pizza, and it lets me know if you can handle it when shit gets retarded, because it's fast food, shits gonna get retarded. People call out, people walk out, people no call no show, and you might have to see a full screen of pies and might have to work then alone. If you do what any sane, halfway intelligent person can do, and not freak out and not take it so fucking seriously, congratulations you can probably run your own store in two weeks. If not, bye, there's a thousand other morons who need a low skill low pay job.
I don't schedule people for clopens like that, though, I always thought that was fucked.

>>21501157
You sound like a dickhead, I'm an amazing worker they lost out on a catch. If you treat me like shit day one I'm out, I can go 10 other places and find better work. Guess everyone really does end up exactly where they belong.

>>21501157
the smart people are the ones that leave you moron

>>21501157
Oh my fucking god dude you’re 33 years old and still working please pipe the fuck down lmfao

>t. made it off crypto

>>21501170
>>21501174
I don't want smart people, smart people are always gonna leave, duh. If anyone was smart, they wouldn't be in this job for long at all, anyways.
I want warm bodies that will show up at least 60% or the time. That's all I require. That's all any of these jobs require. Why do you think they're staffed by the dregs of society, and teenagers/college kids?

>>21501178
Good for you, buddy

>>21501178
At p…p…p

Oh my fucking god I can barely even say it hahahahaha

PAPA JOHNS AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>21500998
What was the purpose of "Hey" or "the word" in yours?

>>21501181
>I hire only retards, then treat them like shit
>why do you think only retards work here?!
because you hire them and treat them like shit
I would ask if youre retarded but youre there still.

>>21501170
I don't know of anyone I would consider an amazing worker, who folds under zero pressure and can't even figure out how to make a pizza lmao even with pictures showing you exactly how to do it

For some reason I managed to get a trial as a prep cook
I am really stressed and I really want this job

>>21501190
>Oh no, I had to make a pizza! All by myself! It's so hard, I'm being treated like shit!
Lmao dude you're as soft as they come

>>21500998
Keep studying paco

My first week working in a fast food place my ass itched so I went in back and scratched it later on I realized there was a camera pointing right at me and the camera beeps when the higher ups are watching and moving it around and it was beeping while I was itching my ass

>>21501195
you have the IQ of a woman's shoe size if you think thats the part I honed in on

People never wash their hands
They just rinse them
It's disgusting

>>21501192
One of the easier kitchen jobs, pretty much just get your list done, clean up after yourself, and take direction. In a short time, you'll be able to look at your prep list for the day and immediately plan your day around it. Things that take a long time, do them first: baking bread, braising something, reducing something, smoking something, things of that nature, take a long time but it's largely "put this in the oven and leave it there for four hours". Then you can tackle your small shit, picking herbs, chopping shit, things that don't take very long but there's usually a lot of them on your list. Get comfortable with a knife and be prepared to cut yourself, burn yourself, drop something heavy on yourself, etc. If you apply yourself just a little bit, but don't stress out, it'll be a chill gig for you in a matter of weeks, just listen to music and cook, none of the stress and fast pace of the line. Prep is all about time management and staying on your shit, if you can do that you'll be fine.

>>21501206
That's the only part I mentioned that could be construed as treating people like shit, my admission that I throw new hires right in the trenches on their first shifts. I'm retarded, and I'm biased, but I think I'm a pretty good manager, because if you show up and somewhat do your job, I leave you alone. I don't micromanage, I don't care if you use the gay little scoops for the toppings or not, I don't care if you go out back and smoke weed or meth or whatever you want, I don't care if you take thirty smoke breaks, I don't care if you milk the clock, I don't care if you cleaned shit perfectly at close, I just don't fucking care. In my experience, I'm a one in a million fast food gm, it's usually anal types who really buy into the company bullshit. I show up and get my paycheck, I make pizzas sometimes, clean sometimes, and that's all I expect of anyone working for me because that's all that's required.

>>21501157
Papa John's doesnt train their employees? No wonder its got such a shitty reputation

>>21501157
>If you do what any sane, halfway intelligent person can do
Then you wouldn't be working at a fucking papa john's

>>21501215
I want to master my knife techniques so this would be an awesome opportunity
Are they likely going to walk me through it all or am I going to have to work it out myself?
I might have to research how restaurants like to slice and dice for the most efficient cuts

>>21501240
This fuckwit
>>21501220
has meth'd up speds making pizzas on half-cleaned equipment, and they're "one of the good ones"

I work in a grocery store. In a union store you can be a lazy shit if you want. You'll simply attract more negative attention from managers, but they can't fire you unless you're caught stealing product, money, or time or you assault a customer verbally or physically.

Best: if you're in the dairy department or grocery night crew and decide not to be a lazy shit, you basically have a free gym.

Worst: lazy coworkers who leave you shit to do. The work never stops, but at least you get paid.

>>21501181
>I don't want smart people
Sounds like you would make a great police chief, I think I found your perfect career.

>>21501240
The pizza is so bad too, 20 years ago they were great but now even the other chains mog them. Not to mention shit like marcos that blows them out of the water.

>>21501157
>pies
Kill yourself retard

How are you supposed to mop the floor in the kitchen?
Because I've never been able to get it perfectly dry after mopping, it usually takes like 5 minutes to evaporate
Am I supposed to get on my hands and knees and wipe the ground with a towel or is air drying enough?

>>21501824
you do it last before leaving duh

>>21501170
Nahh u suck lmao u a bitch

>>21501178
Made it where? To sitting home on your PC all day?

My first job was bussing tables at an Italian restaurant. My best memory is dunking my butt and nuts in the huge bucket of marinara sauce in the walk in before every shift. My worst was getting caught doing this on my second week and told to gtfo or police would be called

Served and tended bar all kinds of places for about a decade
>assaulted by drunk bitches
>nearly assaulted by tweaker line cooks
>retard managers who would drink constantly
>found a pile of human feces on the floor once. No one wanted to be the one to clean it up, retard manager didn't understand we aren't paid to deal or equipped with hazmat (we weren't responsible for bathrooms)

If your job didn't let you go home immediately I would be there the next day with a molotov cocktail.

>>21501001
It's 2025, having a job at all is lame or creepy.

>>21502649
they did, it was my first job and I didn't know anything. Years later I was serving at a different place and I found the kid working dishpit, sweet kid great attitude, silently crying to himself. Asked him if he was ok and he croaked out a no and just broke down. Knew right away same thing happened to him - got a call, bad news, didnt know he could tell the manager and go home so I told him I'd talk to them for him and comforted him after. Told him I'd been through it too and no one expected him to tough it out

>>21502723
I used to work doing early morning prep at a sub shop. We would get deliveries early in the morning from a city 4 hours away. Once I opened the door to find the delivery driver (who I had never met) sobbing, he apparently just found out his father died back in Mexico. I tried to comfort the guy as best I could and gave him something to drink and some cookies, but I'm kind of retarded and don't really know what to do in that kind of situation.

>>21502591
Yes. Jealous much?

>>21502735
No, I love my professional community (law) and I have money too...

Buy some onions, watch a video before your first shift and practice. Someone will undoubtedly still see how green you are, and give you some pointers, but ultimately it comes down to getting down the feeling and the movements and doing the same thing over and over without cutting yourself.

>>21502731
you did more than most, anon. you did good

>>21502723
nice to see a normal human bean around here from time to time

>>21500387 (OP)
if this were a hipster place in san fran they would charge X2 as much for the rustic beer bucket experience

I remember working the overnight shift at this McDonald's and It was me, my manger and his GF
We were always packed with customers, but it was nothing too much that I couldn't handle.
Until we got an unusual order or 200 cheeseburgers.
Then there was this one time during the 4th of July where I walked out of my job because the manager refused to close the drive thru during a massive rush.
Listen, never work fast food. I don't care how desperate you get, never subject yourself to that kind of torment.

>>21502731
Typically anything that shows some kind of support is appreciated. You did fine.

>>21502818
I bought a 2kg bag of onions once and sliced them all as a test of a new knife once

>>21502856
>Until we got an unusual order or 200 cheeseburgers.
Was that order for an event, or one person (that presumably froze a bunch)?

>>21502856

Why would you want it closed?

Good i wish i had a good looking skinny blonde coworker whom i could oogle all day long and touch my myself whole thinking about her

>>21501001
They will gossip about you but just ignore them and focus on your job. They won't do shit.

>>21501001
Manager there wants to fuck those girls. Why would he hire you? Most places haven't hired white people in 20 years so they are all visually repulsive and still won't hire you.

>>21501061
Giving tips is supposed to be mocking you.

>>21501157
Didn't read all this but it clarifies why this guy works at a pizza place.

>>21501181
Pyschopaths all dream of being surrounded by obedient retards thinking this has no consequences to them.
And here we are living through the consequences.

>>21502640
>you can't bring a bat in here
The fuck is the point of this? If he was going to use it, you being a retarded asshole isn't going to stop him. I can't imagine living in a place so shitty this is even considered a possibility.

>>21502810
>And that's how every fast food joint in the country is.
And you wonder why fast food quality has dropped so hard in recent years? Other countries can do it right so why can't we? Oh yeah because the manager is probably some retard who got kicked out of the army for doing drugs and lied on his resume and doesn't know how to manage people

>>21503631
I guess. I dunno what it was for but the driver was in a huge van so maybe.
>>21503746
Because that's what we'd usually do whenever we had a lunch rush, and we were severely understaffed on that holiday.

>>21503861
>lunch rush
>close drive thru
What the fuck restaurant is this?

>>21503815

Yeah sounds like a great idea just let em store their shotgun on the bench beside them too

>>21502856
I know this feel. I also worked the late drive through shift at mcblubbers and on weekends and holidays we would get all kibds of drunk and drugged up people coming through at 1 or 2 in the morning. Got an order from a van full of drunk people that was like 200 mcnuggets, 10 mcdoubles, 10 mcchickens, 15 large fries, a bunch of apple pies and drinks and I cant even remember if tgerecwas more but it was just me and one other guy working that late and we were like fuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkk.
Also I almost got shanked and robbed walking home from work once at close to 3 am. Luckily he was a fat little Mexican and I can run fast. He wouldnt have gotten shit from me anyway, think I had 3 dollars to my name and a prepaid cellphone with like 5 minutes left on it. Who the fuck thinks they are gonna get anything from a 20 year old who works at mcdonalds? LOL

>>21501157
>>21501104
I don't know why you assume 33 yrs old is too old to accomplish anything else you set your mind to. Ironically, this shows how much of a "weeded out little pussy" you are

you should have multiple mop heads. you don't need to have multiple mops. just swap the head with a dry one and dry the floor with it. swap it back to the wet one because the next dickhead who grabs the mop is just going to use it. nobody respects the dry mop.

I worked pizza for a few years too, 100% agree with you. Your average /ck/ poster is literally too retarded to top a fucking pizza with images right in front of them on the makeline, so they lash out over their insecurities. Never worked a day in their lives.
Big fucking surprise.

>>21500387 (OP)
I worked at Domino's on and off for several years. I had applied at a lower volume store close to me, but ended up getting transfered for a couple reasons. One, I didn't speak Spanish while everyone else in that store did, and two, the franchise REALLY needed more people at one of three stores.
I was living in Kissimmee, FL at the time and got sent to Davenport, specifically the super high volume store next to all the fucking vacation houses and schools n shit. I was thrown straight into one of the busiest stores in the fucking country as an insiderbfresh off the training videos. The videos don't teach you jack shit, and sure as hell don't teach you muscle memory. The first night I started there, I was just on the phones and registers getting overwhelmed. I was too slow on the makeline, so I decided to download an app on my tablet at home and make flash cards so I could memorize toppings instead of relying on the pictures. Me, a grown-ass man doing homework, lol. Anyway, it paid off, but I was still mostly told to stay at the front since I was an absolute machine at handling customers and labeling boxes. Quickly, I ended up dual-wielding phones while still taking walk-in orders, fucking 3 orders at once. I'd always have to tell the drivers to fuck off since not only did I have everything handled, but they'd often fuck something up one an order under my credentials since I would use 2 screens at a time. Anyway, to sum up me glazing myself, I was TOO good an insider, so my GM didn't want to let me go. The problem was I was spending most my checks just getting to work and back via Uber since I can't drive. I had gotten in touch with another GM at a store closer to home that I could actually walk to(it would have been quite the walk though) and he wanted me in his store. So, he, I, and some other managers all planned out for me to transfer closer to home, I put in my two weeks at that store out of courtesy, and at the last minute,
1/2

>>21506472
My GM lied through his teeth to all of us and said we never spoke to him about it and I was already scheduled to do my usual open/close as a fucking insider (which is very abnormal), and I was SOL. I decided "fuck that" and still quit at that store to work in the new one, but the bastard fired me, even though the other GM had hired me, causing a huge fuck up in paperwork that ultimately led to me marked unhirable in the franchise.
Tl;dr don't be too good at your job, and NEVER work off the clock like I would sometimes do in hopes of getting good boy points towards becoming a manager.

>>21506430
Doubt

I just had my first shift and I didn't see any microwaves in the kitchen

>>21501001
Not creepy, but it gets substantially less lame if you secure a management position.

>>21503815
>If he was going to use it, you being a retarded asshole isn't going to stop him
You're the retarded one.

If he's out to target someone, it's because he has someone in mind.
If he hurts anyone else before that (i.e, you), he'll lose the chance to hit his intended target.
If he doesn't have an intended target, then he's not going to attack you in the first place.
And if he does attack you, you were justified in forbidding his entrance in the first place.

It's a situation where you're not going to get attacked no matter what, and you're better off forbidding him from bringing it in.

Should I tell head chef that I know I wasn't as efficient as I could have been and that I'll try better this time?
I'm worried going in and working without acknowledgement might be offputting

i worked in a walmart mcdonalds as a teenager and the grease bins were all the way at the back of the walmart, so you'd have to scoop buckets of grease out of the trap (picrel is oc of the actual trap, from 2011 iirc) and wheel the buckets through the walmart where all the customers were shopping and dump the buckets. the smell was horrible. one time something fell in and i had to reach in, made it past my elbow. i just shivered remembering it as i write this post lol

I started as a dishwasher two weeks ago and they're getting me to do prep, peeling shit, cutting shit, portioning, washing and cutting herbs, etc.
Idk if I want to be a cook but I can't be bothered doing anything else or looking for anything else so I might as well grind what I have as hard as I can.
